#self imposed exile (Jolee Bindo)

[luxettenebra]

Relationship headcanons I guess???

Juhani and Revan are in a queerplatonic relationship. I just think ace lesbian Juhani is Neat

Revan's love for Carth reminds her most strongly of what she felt for Alek, back when they were Jedi. it's definitely romantic in nature, but it's a bit...distant, perhaps, hard to hold on to sometimes. a bit painful, but worth it in the end

it's more than just physical lust that Revan feels for Canderous. it's something deeper, something that makes her feel free, even with how fucked the Council left her. it makes her feel...whole

being around Bastila can be difficult, sometimes, because she knows. she knows what the Council did to her, and despite that, it feels...safe. comforting to be around her, even if she's been prone to lecture. she just wants Bastila to feel as safe and whole as she does

Mission is Revan's Little Sister. she doesn't know how to be a parent, so she'll leave that to Carth and Canderous

sometimes, Revan will refer to herself as "the Ebon Hawk's resident Droid Mother". she doesn't remember building and programming HK, but she still feels something she can only really describe as parental pride. she does all of the maintenance for both HK and T3

Jolee is...well, a grounding influence, honestly. he's helped to keep Revan from falling apart much further than she might have if he wasn't there to offer her a steady guiding hand

Wookiepedia on the Phrase: “Pulling a Bindo”

Original Texts can be read Here and Here!

Pulling a Bindo: A term used to describe a Jedi who had disobeyed the Jedi Code by marrying. The term originated from the exploits of the rogue Padawan Jolee Bindo.

Jolee Bindo Jolee Bindo was a male Human Jedi who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Great Sith War. Having participated in several Rimward missions, Bindo fought against Exar Kun, and went into self-imposed exile on Kashyyyk soon afterwards. Near the close of the Jedi Civil War, he joined Revan against Darth Malak and the Sith Empire.

Where does the Saying comes from? A Force-sensitive Human, Jolee Bindo was inducted into the Jedi Order and trained in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple. During his days as a Padawan, Bindo was considered brash and reckless, often defying the will of the Jedi High Council in order to do what he felt was right, as exemplified by his actions during the blockade of the Ukatis system. Cut off from the rest of the galaxy by its own king, the Ukatis system was unable to receive food and supplies, and no help from the Senate was forthcoming. Bindo decided to help the people himself. He acquired a ship and was joined by a friend. Together they stole from the rich, considering it a "tax on the greedy," and ran the supplies through the blockade to the planet.

Eventually, his craft was shot down on the planet by none other than his future wife, Nayama, and the two were married, although marriage was frowned upon by many Jedi of the time. He discovered her to be strong in the Force, and he took to training her personally despite the advice of the High Council and his Padawan status.

During the war with Exar Kun, his wife, like many other Jedi, fell to the dark side. She attempted to turn Bindo, who resisted, culminating in a vicious lightsaber duel, which brought her to her knees. Unable to kill his own wife, Bindo let her go; this would ultimately lead to the deaths of many Jedi at her hands before she was finally struck down in battle. A sensitive topic for Bindo, the Jedi believed that he was unlucky in his life and just had, "So many bad memories, some you never want to think about ever again." In fact, it took much prodding and questioning by Revan to extract any information about his wife at all, much less the entire story.

The Council did not punish Bindo for his actions, though, stating that he had learned his lesson the hard way. When instead they wished to promote him to the status of Jedi Knight, Bindo lost faith in the wisdom of the Council and went into self-exile, giving up his aspirations to be a Jedi Consular.

so I have a habit of tagging characters Revan has strong feelings for, one way or another, and here's the ones I have for the Ebon Hawk crew and a few select ones from her time as a Jedi, because I am very fond of some of them:

steady rock (Navree Ry) exasperated sighing (Alek) steel-jawed betrayal (Malak) mother of a few dumbass kids (Arren Kae) almost friends (the Exile) playing favorites (Atton Rand)

soul bond (Bastila Shan) forgiveness (Carth Onasi) fallen idol (Juhani) mission accomplished! (Mission Vao) self-imposed exile (Jolee Bindo) Mandalore's Finest (Canderous Ordo) assassination protocols (HK 47) slicer extraordinaire (T3 M4) honor bound (Zaalbar)
